Finished Dead House Gates now halfway through Memories of Ice. Erikson’s world building is strong. There is a very unique vibe to it.

The multiple story lines are engaging though he has so many going on I find myself having to think about it when it switches from one group of characters to the next. Same with the characters themselves. It’s a little like GRRM in that way except Martin’s world and stories are easier to track.

Also like Martin there are times when Erickson delves so deeply into details and character’s internal ruminations that I start to mentally glaze over.

Certainly an enjoyable read with many characters I’m coming to like. A vibrant tapestry of the wild, weird, and wonderful.
